Rensselaer Republican, Volume 25, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 October 1892 — Usee of Sweet oil. [ARTICLE]

Usee of Sweet oil.

Clean bronzes with sweet oil, carefully rubbed on, then polish with chamois. If troubled with creaking shoes, rub the sides of the soles with a little sweet oil. Sweet oil will cleanse Britannia metal; rub it well with a flannel cloth and then wash off in warm suds. For sunburn, sweet oil and lime water—two parts of oil to one of lime water —will be found very efficacious. To remove warts apply sweet oil and cinnamon, which will in time cause them to disappear. For inflammatory rheumatism dissolve into a pint of sweet oil one ounce of pulverized saltpetre and thoroughly rub the parts affected.
